Cape Cross half-brother to Cambridgeshire third Very Talented from a successful South American family. Improved on promising debut when winning a Hamilton maiden by 6L last time, and better expected here. Hard to beat.

Verdict

Only DESERT FIRE and Hamlul make much appeal here, with the former, an easy winner of a Hamilton maiden, readily preferred to Sir Michael Stoute's Kempton runner-up. Constituent and Jaquar are bred to be useful, but the latter showed little on debut before being gelded, and Constituent was sold worryingly cheaply last autumn.
